Alex Smith is starting his first day at a new college. He is shy and depressed due to his parents recently splitting up. At the reception desk, Alex collects his planner and timetable from the receptionist. His first class is maths in the D block. The receptionist directs Alex to continue down the corridor and out the left door, where the D block building will be in front of him. Alex smiles and hurries off to class, not wanting to be late on his first day.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

EXT. CITY ACADEMY CAR PARK

Panning across the carpark, following Alex as he walks
towards the Academy Entrance.
NARRATOR
This is Alex Smith; A very shy, and
individual person with a gift, a
gift that no-one else has. But
we'll come back to that later.
It's his first day at this new
College, The City Academy. His
parents have recently split, so he
is very edgy and depressed. Oh and
did i mention that he gets bullied
for his height?

Alex slows down, opens his bag, pulls out a letter and
starts briefly reading it quietly to himself.

ALEX
(Whispers)
Dear Alex Smith ... Monday the 12th
of October ... Go straight to
reception and collect your things
to start your day. So i go to
reception, where's that?

ALEX
(Shyly)
Hi, I'm Alex Smith, I'm new here
He gazes around the room, with a look of awe on his face
because of how amazing the place looks.

RECEPTIONIST
(Peacefully)
Ah i see. Welcome to The City
Academy, Alex; I'm certain you'll
enjoy your education here. Just
wait one moment while i collect
your planner and timetable from the
office

The Receptionist gets up and walks through a room at the
other end of the reception. Alex stands very still.

This is your guide to the Academy,
it will tell you everything you
need to know. Also this is your
timetable; it looks like your first
lesson is Maths in the D block
The Receptionist points to the way towards the D Block
Alex nods his head as the Receptionist directs him
RECEPTIONIST (CONT'D)
Just continue down this corridor
and go out of the door on the left,
The D block is the building
directly in front of you.
ALEX
Thank you very much.
RECEPTIONIST
Hurry up, you don't want to be
late!
Alex smiles and quickly walks down the corridor.
